Mouse Rhd* and Rhag* genes were targeted using insertional vectors; the resulting knockout mice, and double-knockout descendants, were analysed. Rhag glycoprotein deficiency entailed defective assembly of the erythroid Rh complex with complete loss of Rh and intercellular adhesion molecule 4 (ICAM-4), but not CD47, expression.
